A photo of a course session outdoors against a weathered, stained concrete wall with a small arched niche and a rusty metal gate. Several people sit cross-legged on a tiled floor around brass and copper instruments and small tools laid out on a cloth. Two men on the left wear white head wraps and white clothes with saffron shawls. A man in white with a saffron shawl and rudraksha-style beads sits in the centre, while a man in white with a shawl sits behind him. A young man in a striped t-shirt and lilac trousers stands at the back taking a photo with a small camera. Women and younger students in white with yellow-orange shawls take notes on the blue floor cloth, and a red Sonic bag sits in the foreground.
